If the Media Didn't Have Double Standards, It...

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/05/23

Have we ever seen a week with so many demonstrations of media double standards? From Politico's hit piece on Casey DeSantis, their aggressive reporting on Dianne Feinstein, and their regurgitation of PR lines on Jill Biden and John Fetterman, Andrew Malcolm and I are impressed with media, um ... flexibility. Plus we talk about the Tim Scott entry into the race, Andrew's latest column at RedState, and much more!

Michele Tafoya has spent her career in sports media, but has recently decided to speak out on a range of cultural and political topics.

Brutal Minds -- How the Left is hijacking higher ed...

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/05/16

Has an "army of mediocrity" taken over higher education in America? Dr. Stanley Ridgely argues that's the least of the problems. His new book, "Brutal Minds: The Dark World of Left-Wing Brainwashing in Our Universities," Ridgely and I discuss the conversion of education into indoctrination, and how the Left has applied tactics of cults to succeed at it. It's a Cultural Revolution fitting of Mao himself, whom many of its activists idolize and model.

Pardon me? Joe Biden defends Hunter -- and MSNBC nods

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/05/09

What did the Prince of Twitter think of the coronation? Depends on which one you're talking about. The MSNBC interview of Joe Biden certainly reminds us that the media will fight to keep Biden on the throne here. We also talk about Biden's comments on the open investigation into Hunter Biden's alleged crimes, Biden's biggest screw-up since Afghanistan, and more!

Is Irish speech -- and liberty -- dying?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/05/08

Description: While Americans battle the government-media censorship complex at home, the news for liberty is worse in Ireland, Gript.ie reporter Ben Scallan brings us up to speed on an effort to pass a broad hate-speech suppression bill, one that essentially allows any kind of dissent on hot-button issues to be criminalized. Despite the clear public backlash to this proposal, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar intends to press forward -- and if he does, the situation in Éirinn looks bleak indeed.

HHS Threatens Catholic Hospital Over Sanctuary Candle?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/05/04

Should a Catholic hospital stop seeing Medicare and Medicaid patients because it has a lit candle in its Catholic chapel? Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket Law, discusses their latest case involving HHS and religious liberty. The Biden administration has ordered St. Francis Catholic Hospital to extinguish the sanctuary candle required by Catholic doctrine while the transubstantiated Eucharist is in the tabernacle or get disqualified for any reimbursements for care.

Weingarten is lying -- and here's why

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/05/01

Was AFT president Randi Weingarten really trying to reopen schools? American Commitment president Phil Kerpen scoffs at the claim, pointing out that Weingarten fought for over two years to stop schools from opening. He discusses the economic and social consequences of school closures due to the pandemic, including a loss of educational attainment, lower lifetime income, lower life expectancy, mental health issues, and physical health issues. Plus, the quarter of a million kids have dropped off the

Biden's launch, Weingarten's attack, and Fox's dilemma

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/04/27

Could Joe Biden have delivered a worse campaign launch? AJ Kaufman joins me to discuss Biden's demagoguery and hs decision to get in this early. Was he afraid of a challenge? Randi Weingarten's back and on the attack, AJ tells us, which is just a defense mechanism to deflect all of her toxic leadership during the pandemic and the damage it did to millions of children. AJ and I debate Fox's firing of Tucker Carlson and especially whether his content was inappropriate for national discussion.

Fighting the War for Influence Over Your Children

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/04/24

The pandemic shutdowns opened up the classroom for parents to see what was going on inside and how the left has abandoned education for indoctrination. Bethany Mandel joins me to discuss the book she co-authored with Karol Markowicz, “Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation,” and why parents must prepare themselves for a battle for the souls of their children. Bethany stresses the need for active parenting, the struggle for parents to assert themselves, and

Death threats over pro-life beliefs at William and Mary

2023/04/12

"I told my peers men cannot have babies," Skylar Culbertson wrote at The College Fix. "They’ve threatened to kill me because of it." I speak with Skylar about the attempts to silence and intimidate people of faith at William and Mary College, the doxxing and the vitriol aimed at them for their viewpoints, and the lack of response from university administrators. Skylar talks about her experiences on campus, how the indoctrination backfired in her case, and how Academia may be lost in general as an

It doesn't take long for Andrew Malcolm and I to go off the rails a bit. Somehow in a discussion about media propagandizing, we start discussing brothels in Nevada. We also get to Biden's serial lies, the death of accountability, Elon Musk's latest trolling, and much much more.

Revisiting Vietnam: Did We Get It Wrong?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/04/03

For 50 years, the accepted narrative of the Vietnam War is one of futility, failure, and the limits of imperialism. Mark Moyar argues in his new book Triumph Regained: The Vietnam War, 1965-1968 that we have it all wrong. Using recently released evidence from Vietnam and digging deep into American archives as well, Moyar argues that the US pursued key national interests in defending South Vietnam -- and that we had all but won the war by the time Richard Nixon took office. I talk with Mark about his

Has the FTC been politically weaponized against Musk...

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/03/31

Earlier this month, the Federal Trade Commission demanded that Elon Musk "identify all journalists" who had been granted access to Twitter's internal communications. The timing on this demand hardly seemed coincidental, as Musk was exposing the government's censorship efforts on social media. Ashley Baker joins us to discuss this apparent intimidation attempt, and the surprising lack of response from journalists when it happened. We also talk about anti-trust, the FTC's resistance to congressional

Is the banking crisis over -- or will it get worse?

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/03/29

Peter Grandich can say, "I told you so" about the banking crisis. The one-time Wall Street whiz kid has spent the last several years warning about debt and profligate monetary policy. Those chickens came home to roost this month in three major bank failures. So what's next? The immediate crisis may be over, Peter believes, but it's just the beginning of a long-term debt crisis in the US. Find out what Peter thinks you should know about investment strategies, too.

Does NPR really think that there's "limited scientific research" on athletic differences between men and women? Andrew Malcolm shred NPR for its activist narratives as well as for its half-hearted walkback. Andrew looks ahead to the 2024 cycle, and we both discuss Donald Trump's rally in Waco.

Rathergate returns at the NYT, Bragg's bluff, and more!

Will Alvin Bragg really indict Donald Trump? I'm skeptical, as I tell Andrew Malcolm, given the case and the circumstances. We discuss Ron DeSantis' response, plus game out whether Trump's latest call to the streets will work. We also take a look at the NYT's use of a notorious Rathergate source to flog the 1980 October Surprise conspiracy theory meets any journalistic standard, and then discuss another new poll showing that media credibility continues to crater.

Can Academia be restored to its original purpose? Jacob Howland plans to try. Howland, the director of intellectual foundations at the University of Austin, discusses the goals and the accomplishments thus far from this new start-up in higher education. We discuss how UATX plans to restore full and free debate and discussion, how classical education will guide the curricula, and UATX's ambitious plans to open as a full-scale four-year-plus university by the fall of 2024.

Corruption Leaks Out of Media Lab on COVID-19, and More!

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/03/07

News that the FBI and the Department of Energy both concluded that a lab leak in Wuhan is the likeliest origin for COVID-19 puts bureaucrats and media on the spot. Anthony Fauci appears to have engineered a cover-up from the beginning to shield himself and Francis Collins from the blowback of restarting gain-of-function research. Why did the media actively suppress discussion of the lab-leak theory as disinformation and conspiracy theory? We discuss the death of the daily, or at least on a

Media Cover Blown on COVID Origins

The Ed Morrissey Show ·

2023/02/28

Yet again, another piece of "misinformation" turns out to be reality. Why did the media suppress the lab-leak theory of COVID-19 origins? Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the impact that has on mainstream media's already crumbling credibility. We also look at whether and when sanctions on Russia will have a significant impact on the war, and discuss Jimmy Carter's decision to enter into hospice -- and how much the world has changed in that regard since his presidency.
